SUSTAINABLE LIVING

Every day we make choices in our lives that affect our environment. From our morning cup of coffee to brushing our teeth before bed, there are decisions we can make to reduce our environmental footprint. These individual actions matter, especially when entire communities and populations get on board. 

Many sustainable lifestyle decisions are a simple break from your old routine. Place bar soap in your bathroom instead of single-use plastic pump soap dispensers. Buy dissolvable laundry sheets packaged in a cardboard box instead of liquid detergent in a single-use large plastic tub. Avoid fast fashion in favor of thrift shopping.

Other changes can take time and financial investment, such as solar panels or heat pumps, but can reduce energy costs in the long run and significantly reduce your household environmental footprint.

Explore below to see what sustainable swaps we can suggest. Be sure to share other ideas you have and make Striving for Sustainability a true community resource and opportunity for conversation!
